When Tim said what he said, it felt as though he may have been so grossly offended by my own humour, grey as it may be, that in his own grey humour he tried to fire back in a thinly-veiled way. I read it wrong and I was a smart-&@($* back to him. It's easy for me to read black and white...it's the grey that's hard to sift through. When I saw the word 'excuse', it reflexed that reaction from me. My apologies to Tim on this.

0 999 posts Posted 06 July 2009 - 09:49 PM No apologies necessary. We're all friends here, and, as I said, I should have known something like that would not have translated well. The human condition is such that we're all going to die, most of us in unpleasant ways at times not of our choosing. The fact that anyone can find a kind of humor connected to this is uniquely human and, in my eyes, has a grim nobility. Also, in certain professions it is a necessary psychological safety valve. The medical profession has given us the term "donorcycle" which comments on a societal risk without making fun of dead teenagers. I have a case with a horrible office nickname that I won't repeat here since I use my real name. No disrespect is intended, but professionals in certain fields have to maintain a psychological distance in order to do their jobs and live their lives.I sent your logo to another death penalty colleague of mine, but unfortunately he is not an aviation enthusiast, so I got a "what the heck is this?" email back.

0 7,212 posts Posted 07 July 2009 - 04:25 PM There's a guy in the UK with a popular aircraft nicknames website ; the nicks that got my attention were for the Airbus A320, because there were so many nicknames, such as the MiniBus, NintendoJet, ScareBus, Chainsaw, Deathjet, Freddie Kruegers Wet Dream, Toulouse Grasscutter and The Strimmer. They missed off a few of my personal favourites:F-104 Starfighter: The Aluminium Death Tube - There was a joke in Germany at the time the Luftwaffe were crashing F-104 Starfighters with depressing regularly which went: How do you get a Luftwaffe Starfighter for free?

- Buy a field in Germany and wait.MD-11: The Scud - Apparently because you never know where it's going to land.The Airco DH-2: The Spinning Incinerator - It was apparently fairly tricky to get out of a spin for novice pilots, as well as being notorious for catching fire if shot at with incendiary rounds.While we're on the subject of nicknames and the Airbus, 50 points for the first person who can tell me which famous Boeing aircraft was marketed as the 'Super Airbus' and actually had that painted on the side?Al 0 7,212 posts Posted 08 July 2009 - 01:28 AM Correct, you get 50 points! these points can be redeemed at my house in the form of a free cup of either tea or coffee LOLFor the curious, the aircraft Plainplane pictured a model of (which is what the the real thing looked like) was in fact the very first Boeing 747 (N7470), which Boeing painted up as the demonstrator for the then new SR (short range high density seating variant).

When painted up as that, N7470 wore the registration N1352B. The actual production SR models were certified for 52,000 cycles, as opposed to the normal 747s which were certified for 24,600 cycles, since the short range versions were obviously going to make more take offs and landings when flying shorter trips.Al 0

Question: MiniBus, NintendoJet, ScareBus, Chainsaw, Deathjet are all nicknames for which model of aircraft?
Answer: Airbus A320
